Genotypic and Phenotypic Characterization of Bacteriocinogenic Lactic Acid Bacterial Strains for Possible Beneficial, Virulence, and Antibiotic Resistance Traits
Abstract:Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a diverse group of microorganisms that can be found in natural habitats and are used in a wide range of industries, especially in the food sector. They are regarded "Generally Recognized as Safe" and are commonly used as a starter culture, probiotics, and biopreservative. However, some LAB genera are excluded from the "Qualified Presumption of Safety" (QPS) list due to the possibility that they have virulence and antibiotic resistance genetic determinants. The objective of this s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
